There's a pretty clear track record of proposals one-sidedly cannibalizing future growth in order to payout whales. While I agree that there are some who'd find workarounds, I think it's still better to force them to make workarounds rather than just give up.
This ecosystem is dying. They printed far too many cards expecting massive growth and that growth has flatlined. The entry level cost to get into the game at this point is prohibitively high and the rewards are not big enough to justify doing so. This is why growth is not happening. And now we have more absurd proposals each day just to allocate more and more to whales until the game is dead.
This is to give LESS to the whales that sit there and don't participate or don't do things motivated to help the game. You are legit on the side of the lazy greedy whales from our perspective.
But maybe the compromise is to turn off all SPS to land until the whitepaper mining system gets approved. I'd vote for that.
